Christmas/New Year International Giveaway!!!

Hi lovelies!First of all, I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who entered my Birthday/Blogiversary Giveaway. Thank you for all your tips, I have definitely taken them to heart and will be working on some tutorials for 2013. A big congratulations to the winner,Michaela T! I hope you enjoy your prize!And now on to the good news, welcome to my Christmas/New Year International Giveaway! I've actually been planning my Christmas giveaway for a while but as I will be away for almost a month (returning early February 2013), I won't be able to send the prize out until I return, so I thought I would just let it run until I get back. Christmas is probably my favourite time of year, I get to spend time catching up with the family, enjoying warm weather, and all that delicious food and drink! Plus, it's great fun shopping for your loved ones (and sneaking a gift or two for yourself into your shopping basket in the bargain)! I really couldn't not do a Christmas giveaway, it's my way of celebrating Christmas with all my lovely readers! I adore Lancóme cosmetics, it's one of my favourite high end brands (I adore the luxurious products and packaging) so I thought I'd do a Lancóme giveaway for Christmas! Here's a peek at the prize pack on offer!Giveaway contents.Lancóme Colour Design All-In-One shadow palette containing five shadows and a liner in Violet Magnetique (I own this palette, scroll down for swatches)Lancóme Ombre Hypnose single eyeshadow in Rose EtoileLancóme mini eye crayon in Noir - black (I own one and love how very dark it is, it's perfect for waterlining)Lancóme mini L'Absolu Rouge lipstick

They say a photograph tells a thousand words, so here are several!

The Lancóme prize pack!

The palette.

The single shadow.

Mini lipstick and mini eye pencil.

These swatches are taken from my palette. You will get a brand new one!

I'm very excited to be sharing this giveaway with all of you, and hope it goes to a lovely home!

I will be celebrating with my Husband and 2 kids, my family is away, I wish we could all be together, making a nice dinner.For 2013 I wish must of our financial problems will be solve and finally being able to travel to my home land Venezuela :-D Happy Holidays to you!!

I'll be celebrating Christmas with my family for a BIG lunch, followed by an afternoon nap, then leftovers! I'm looking forward to my overseas trip mid 2013 and seeing my son complete his final year of primary school! Gorgeous giveaway - very glam!

Have a great holiday hun! I don't have GFC so cannot enter this contest, what a shame! :( I will be a good sport and answer the question though, I will be spending a chilled out day with my immediate family and enjoy a long lunch with a few vinos (wines)! :)

My family actually doesn't celebrate Xmas! I was planning on to taking Mumma to the zoo, but that's cancelled... Sigh! I'm REALLY looking forward to finishing my studies at TAFE in 2013 along with some fun events with friends (beach house!).

I will be spending Christmas with my partner. This is our first Christmas we are spending by ourselves in Perth instead of traveling. I'm looking to my wedding next year! It should be grand! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!

As per normal I will be cooking up a storm for my girls and Miss 21's Boyfriend. I start the cooking Christmas Eve when we have a wonderful dinner and then open our gifts. Christmas Day is full on yummy food and anyone that decided to visit is welcome.2013 will hopefully be a year when I have my health on track and I can get closer to my trip to NY

It is my babies first Christmas so I imagine it will be a full on day! Having lunch with my family and spending the late afternoon/early evening with my husbands side.Fantastic give-away - so generous.

Beautiful giveaway! Christmas day will be spent at home with the boyfriend's parents, eating good food and enjoying the air conditioning if it's a really hot day! In 2013 I'm looking forward to doing the Michelle Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation and enrolling in a nutrition course, both of which will help me become fit and healthy.

Wonderful giveaway! How generous :)I generally don't celebrate Christmas religiously as I am not religious but of course we still participate in the spirit of giving :) so I will probably be spending some family time together and exchanging some gifts and having a nice dinner!In 2013 I look forward to consolidating my skills at my new job, enjoying my role as on an executive committee at uni and doing well in my last year of uni!!! :)

I'll be celebrating Christmas with my friends and doing a secret santa so that we don't waste a lot of money buying presents! I'm looking forward to setting new resolutions... my boyfriend would like me to stop backseat driving him :P

Unfortunately, my parents are abandoning my siblings and I and are heading off to the gold coast with my aunt and uncle for christmas. So I have no idea how we're going to be celebrating Christmas... Maybe a maccas run? lol

My Christmas celebrations are broken up into two chunks due to relatives travelling, but that only makes it more fun. The first one will be next weekend with extended family and lots of excited kiddie-winks, and I'll probably spend the actual day very quietly with my elderly parents.What an amazing giveaway - just adore Lancóme products!Hope you have an awesome holiday hon, a safe & very happy time :-)

I'll be celebrating Christmas with my family and closest friend, then celebrating my birthday. I'll be looking forward to a year where I'll be running races, hoping to accomplish a half marathon witha good time.

I will be celebrating Christmas with my bf's family and my sister, we're organizing a Christmas lunch! In 2013, I'm just looking forward to good health, and just a good year. I have such a good feeling about it :)

My Mum suggested I go through to her place, but it is SUCH a mission to pack up the kids and all the gear and go through, as we have to stay the night. Driving through on Christmas day is a mission and tiring for Smalls, and to complicate things, Small's Birthday is Boxing Day.Easier if they come to me, but they are always reluctant to leave their place, and year before last Dad didn't even come.I am thinking of just going to a nice tranquil spot and picnicing and fishing with the kids. Sounds a lot more mellow and relaxed than rushing around trying to please everyone else :D

For 2013 my goal is to start with a clean slate. And you know what THAT means!No more wanting to smack a certain person upside the ear with a cast iron skillet. No siree. 2013 I am having memory erasure and Skype blocking installed :D :D

Actually. It's such a waste. All 2012 I have been looking forward to actually being near enough to be ABLE to use that skillet... now for 2013 all I am looking forward to is NOT NEEDING to have to use it :DSeriously... I am going to look at a new goal/target or something :DOoh I know... I am looking forward to de-aging my eyebrows ;)

I will be celebrating Christmas with my boyfriends family, who after 5 years are really my family too. We will spend the day eating and laughing and probably playing some Pictionary.. In 2013 I am looking forward to graduating from uni and getting my first job as a qualified social worker!

I celebrate Christmas every year with all my kids and cats, my birthday and mum's birthday are right after Christmas too so it's Party Week! Looking forward to being 40 in 2013 and hopefully being older and wiser :P

It's my first Christmas with the husband and our apartment is tiny, hardly a place for cooking up a feast. Since we live in Japan and turkeys aren't all that easy to come by, we'll be having a tandoori chicken for our Christmas dinner! I'm looking for to a new job in an entirely different industry and seriously tackling learning Japanese.

This will be my first Christmas off in years. Seriously, I'm having a very hard time remembering the last Christmas when I wasn't working. So I'm really looking forward to spending time with my family, my partner's family, exchanging gifts, eating too much, and drinking a bit as well. All the things that many others seem to take for granted. I hope 2013 is filled with positivity and love for everyone!

I will be celebrating by being with my family and eating delicious food. I've spoilt my boyfriend this year for Christmas so I'm excited for him to open it. In 2013 I'm looking forward to moving and having a fresh start xx

I'm spending Christmas at home in London this year :) I've spent most of the year away from home at University or travelling so I'm really looking forward to going home! What I'm most looking forward to next year is graduating! I'm really excited about finishing University and moving back to London x onelittlevice@gmail.com

I don't celebrate a traditional Christmas but I celebrate a commercial Christmas which means shopping, discount hunting etc. :D but I love the spirit of the season, everything is lit up, everyone is happy, thinking of loved ones and most importantly spirit of giving. I have bought one too many things for myself and will be giving in the form of charity ( little things but I hope it makes someone smile)For 2013, I want to spend less and enjoy what I have more :) most looking forward to great things happening career wise and keeping my family happy xoxoHave a lovely Christmas and a happy new year :)

I'll be celebrating Xmas 3 times at least! Christmas Eve eve at my Mum's place with my Mum, sister, Gpa and great Aunt. Xmas moring at home then lunch at my Dad's with an extended family of almost 20!! Then Xmas dinner at home with my "home family" - my two housemates and their 3 year old daughter

In 2013 Im looking forward to spending more time with those that actually mean something to me and not spend my time racing around after others!

Hmmmm, my uncle mariage anniversary is on 25th december so his family and family celebrate and dine out together ..For 2013: I am looking forward to lose some extra pounds before getting married :P Thanks for giveaway :)

Hey there! I've been reading your blog for a long time now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Porter Tx! Just wanted to say keep up the excellent work!my web page :: forex Software Download

Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway. I love LANCOME products too, they have such beautiful colours. For Christmas I will be busy with my 3 munchkins and celebrating my baby girl's first Christmas. Then for the new year, I hope to find more time in my already busy schedule. Will have to work on that one...hehe. Have a lovely Christmas sweetie!

We start the festivities with fish and chips and monopoly on Christmas eve. This started because we were all to shagged to cook dinner after all the houseworky/xmas prep stuff I insist the hubby and kids help me with each year. If we are having a late lunch elsewhere the kids and hubby make pancakes for breakfast (how they eat a roast after this, I'll never know). Every other year one sister in law and her kids come down from Canberra and and the other comes from the States with her hubby and then we have my husbands two very elderly great aunts join us as well, very english senses of humour they have! Then the present unwrapping begins followed wine/champagne/beer infused after noon nap and watch the men folk attempt to put the kids toys together. We always have a blast. To finish the gluttony off those who are inclined take a massive picnic lunch made of the leftovers to the Boxing day cricket match.

Thank's for this giveaway ~Honestly we didn't celebrate x'mas .. but my cousin will be holding his wedding party in this x'mas ~ so i think it's a good thing too ^^ and i hope we will have a better year for 2013 since this year not a good year for me and my family ...

i will spending my christmas holiday with my family especially when christmas eve (dinner and christmas gift swap). For 2013, i want to be a successful beauty blogger :) please visit my blog: stevaniequinn.blogspot.com

Wow, amazing giveaway, thank you!I celebrated Christmas at my parents' house with my family, a big meal and lots of games. In 2013 I'm looking forward to completing my Masters degree and getting a job - so I have more money to spend on beauty products! ;D

I spent Xmas with my family and stayed home, and my boyfriend even brought me presents. It was a lovely day. In 2013, I look forward to all the new people I am going to meet, and how happy I will be everyday and look forward to so many surprises!!

I've celebrated Christmas together with my family. We live quite close to each other, even uncles, aunts and my grandparents live in the same city so we have a big get together every Christmas.For 2013 I look forward to moving into my own apartment and start decorating it :)

Well, Christmas has passed but I spent it with my family as always and it was calm and that's all I could have asked for!

About 2013.. I hope to really accomplish something with my participations in architecture students competitions and I hope to finish all my classes this year and without letting Static (my nightmare class) undone! :P

I spent it with my family. I am looking forward to a positive year. My father passed away of cancer this year and it has been a very hard year for me and my family. I am hoping to focus more on the good memories instead of the sad terrible ones I keep remembering from his last days. amypugmire@live.com

I celebrated just with my family, nothing better than warmth and love of home...I am waiting this 2013 Summer to see if I can get married, because we are facing many problems to make a simple wedding without to spend lot of money. It will be very difficult, but NOTHING IS IMPOSIBLE IN THIS LIFE WITH LOT OF HOPES...

I spent Christmas day with my family and, after the Christmas dinner, I went out with my friends (: 2013? I am looking forward to getting over my Uni's studies and exams! GFC: FedericaE-mail: federicacossuu@gmail.com

I'm an orthodox christian and we celebrated Christmas yesterday. It always is in the circle of the family with a traditional dinner. We split a bread with a coin in it and who gets the coin will be the luckiest for the year.I'm looking forward to spend more time with my boyfriend this year since we live in different cities.

I spent Christmas at my aunts house, had dinner and spent time with my cousins there, then went to my other aunts house and spent time with the rest of my family there :)I'm most looking forward to 2013 being a better year for me :)

I love Christmas time. the time of delicious food and drinks and of course, presents! I spent it at home with my family, because Christmas is family holiday! <3 And I have a lot of plans to 2013 year, one of it to make my blog better and more attractive to readers.
